Insects and Colors between Art and Natural History
This book explores how European naturalists and artists perceived, investigated, and presented the relationship between insects and colors from the late sixteenth to the late eighteenth century. The contributors to this volume examine the creative methods and strategies that were developed to record color-related information about insects through studies on Hoefnagel’s glazed metal and hand-coloring practices; the lepidochromy technique used in paintings by Marseus van Schriek and later naturalists; the representation of sexual dimorphism of color and variable color of caterpillars in the images of Goedaert, Merian, Albin, and Rösel von Rosenhof; the painting-by-numbers technique applied ...

Silberne und goldene Monumentalkruzifixe
Italienische, französische, deutsche und englische Schriftquellen berichten aus der Zeit des 7. bis 12. Jahrhunderts von der Existenz von mindestens zwanzig aus Silber oder Gold gefertigten Kruzifixen, die ein annähernd lebensgroßes, plastisches Corpus trugen und damit die Anforderungen der Monumentalskulptur erfüllten. Die vorliegende Untersuchung orientiert sich zunächst an den drei erhaltenen Stücken des 10., frühen 11. und 12. Jahrhunderts in Pavia, Vercelli und Freiburg i.
